Outline:

"Do for your family what God has done for you in the Gospel."
1. God communicates
  - Psalms 19:1
  - 2 Timothy 3:16-17

2. God communicates honestly (vs 25)

3. God communicates graciously (vs 29)
  - Proverbs 18:21
  - Marriage counselor Wayne Mack suggests six questions that ought to guide all of our communication:
    a. Is it really true? Do I really have the facts?
    b. Is what I would like to say profitable? Will it help or hurt? Be constructive or destructive? (Proverbs 20:15; Ephesians 4:29; Romans 15:1-3)
    c. Is this the proper time for me to say it, or would it be better for me to wait? (Proverbs 15:23)
    d. Are the words that I will use the best possible way of saying it? (Proverbs 25:11)
    e. Have I prayed about this matter, and am I trusting God to help me? (Psalms 19:14)
